Over/under for the amount of times that song is played in the parking lot this year?

I'm just hoping that I don't have a dubstep party 10 feet away from my tent again this year. Fortunately, by the time I hit my sleeping bag at SNWMF I can sleep through nearly anything. It is quite an unpleasant thing to wake up to though if you are unfortunate enough to wake up.

Yo, this aint the future of Reggae cause it aint Reggae. Just cause Skrillex have a Marley on his track and he has Red, Gold and Green in his name doesnt mean its Reggae. (or the future of Reggae.....hopefully). Either way we did get a call from Portmore a few weeks ago with our good friend buggin sayin that we gotta get a dub of this crazy, crazy new Jr. Gong. This artist said the selector pulled it up 10 times, got the biggest forward he said he has seen in a long, long time from this tune-in Jamaica. Then i searched for the tune and found that this was the tune he was reffering to.........it wouldnt suprise me if Rory buss this one of in the dance and most people would go crazy, while others would tuck their tail and start dry heaving.

i agree with octagon. it could be some future of something but whatever, not one I'll follow

but we should remember that reggae (like its father, ska music) is an elixir... it blended then-modern takes on African traditional and southern church musics with jazz, Latin jazz, and r&b

and there have been lots of blends since. look at "could you be loved" which is actually more of a disco tune than reggae. of course our eyes and minds tell us it's reggae but give a listen and check the driving drum. disco... it can mix easily into Michael Jackson songs.

It is really remarkable how quickly dubstep as a genre has risen in popularity, especially among the youth. I often wonder why is that....a generation of Digital age kids...living electronic lives 24/7? But anything that rises this fast may also fall just as fast. This kind of popularity is difficult to sustain.

While I believe a small fraction of dubstep is quite good or at least tolerable, most of it is just grating on the auditory system. But in terms of this tune being the future of Reggae.... Octogon summed it up best. But believe we are going to start hearing more of these tunes before this thing is over.

Quoteso nice

When the above song got released by Marley, it was understood in music biz circles this was his unabashed effort to get SOME attention & air-play from 'urban' radio and hopefully black American listeners.

In that time, he had zero recognition from that radio format, and about the same from it's listenership.

"It's all toilet sounds" LOL
I like my reggae to have a bass line which this skrillex track lacks...yeah I know there are a number of dancehall tunes that don't have a bassline, but I don't care for them either.

tings go round & round ... the wheel of life is eternal & so is the fashion nonsensabilities of chattering monkey mentalities ... flavor of the month come & go & is forgotten => yet the classics live on --- ie. beethoven, tchaikovsky, patsy cline, satchmo, santana, abbysinians, bob m etc. => when wurld conditions cause the children to cry out for the real musical food of life a next voice-of-a-generation will arise

"monkey man monkey man ... you're nothing but a big monkey man" (toots)

w/o even lisssenin' to the entire tune, I can say I prefer this one by faaar....

First off, hello. This will be my first non-promotional post. As the nube, I would like to officially weigh in. The song, although far from great, is really not all that bad, speaking comparitively. Take out the obnoxious track and you have something to work with. It has brought up some interesting discussion. As Bob did with Could You Be Loved, Jr Gong looks to increase his audience. Specifically by colaborating with artistes from genres outside of Reggae. So we get tracks like this from him and heaps of others that are outside of the genre. Super Heavy anyone? IMO, the future of Reggae looks to have a lot of potential from the youts and in general is progressing back towards the core message of love and unity. As far as Dubstep going the way of Jungle, let's keep our fingers crossed.
